General Information; Overview; Warning; Safety Precautions - GH Solar GHxxxP-36 Series Installation Manual

1. General information

1.1.Overview

This guide contains information regarding the installation and safe handling of Ganghang.
Photovoltaic module (hereafter is referred to as "module"). Installers must read and
understand the guide before installation. Any questions, please contact our sales
department for further explanations.

1.2.Warning

The installer should conform to all safety precautions in the guide and local codes when
installing a module. Before installing a solar Photovoltaic system, installers should
become familiar with the mechanical and electrical requirement for such a system. Keep
this guide in a safe place for future reference (care and maintenance) and in case of sale
or disposal of the modules.

1.3.Safety Precautions:

Solar modules generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to light. One module on
its own is below the safety extra low volt level, but multiple modules connected in series
(summing the voltage) or in parallel (summing the current) represent a danger. The
following points must be observed when handling the solar modules to avoid the risk of
fire, sparking and fatal electric shock.
Keep children well away from the system while transporting and installing mechanical and
electrical components. Completely cover the module with an opaque material during
installation to keep electricity from being generated.
Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, ear, nose, lip rings or other metallic devices while
installing or troubleshooting photovoltaic systems.
Abide with the safety regulations for all other components system, including wiring and
cables, connectors, charging inverters, storage batteries and rechargeable batteries, etc.
Use only equipment, connectors, wiring and support frames suitable for a solar electric
system.
Always use the same type of module within a particular photovoltaic system. The electrical
characteristics are within ±5 watts of the indicated values of Pmax under standard test
conditions (irradiance of 1000W/m2, AM 1.5 spectrums, and a cell temperature of 25°C
(77°F)). Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module or panel.
Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that
